The Dutch title used here, Hoogleeraar, is equivalent to an American full professor.

In order to avoid confusion, I will often use the Dutch term Faculteit and German Facultät. These terms are equivalent to College or School in the United States, which are academic units and building blocks of a typical American university. The term faculty in the US stands for the body of professors of a college or a school.
